5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

6 who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something

to be used to his own advantage;7 rather, he made himself nothing

by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.

8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself

by becoming obedient to death – even death on a cross!

9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every

name,10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should

bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.
